that we have accidentally caught on tn
fly. l have been in this burg for few
days past, although my stay has BEEF
short but extremely pleasant. This plac
cannot certainly be called unsociable, o
course to some persons it may seem SO
but we can certainly say everyone tina
we have met is sociable and courteous
and tender many thanks for thei
kindness during my stay.
The streets have been quite muddy
but now present more passable appear
ance.
The novelty at the Opera House OF
Thursday and Friday nights Tried fol
Treason, " by Mr.. Chas. Thornton, author

crowded both nights, and everyone

we hope is we'll patronized.

scented the Chambersburg Company with
very handsome silver pitcher, on Tues
day night, in Chambersburg. The
pitcher was presented by their handsome
young reporter, Mr.. Grant Pitzer. He
deserves much praise as his speech was
beautiful and appropriate. Grant it's
rather pleasant to have the girls sug
costing, he is so nice looking" &c.
and SO on and who is he, anyhow p
1 told people until got tired, then
said didn't know.
| The excursion to Chambersburg Tues
day, was quite enjoyable. The City
Band accompanied the firemen, and in
the parade made good appearance
The boys are all jolly and good looking
and seem to have an enjoyable time
wherever they go.
George Myers and Frank Williams
were objects of commiseration on Tues
day. They lost their tickets and mis-
took some other girls for theirs, anG
they say you can imagine their feeling
when they said, mo thanks, you art

our friend Mr.. Nelson Roberts, of Lee
town, to Miss Irene Pearrell, of Snyder
Mill, Jefferson Co., which took plac
Wednesday, Feb. esd. We have reciev
ed nothing but the marriage, but n
doubt it was pleasant affair, and n
doubt we will hear the particular
through some of the worthy correspon
dents of jefferson Co. We know Nh
. Roberts personally, and know him to
thorough gentleman, and is highly re
spected by everyone. He has been il
the mercantile business for numbe
of years and has become a merchan
of high standing and has been yer
successful in all his undertaking. @
